Student Success Stories

Run through Coventry University Students’ Union volunteering team, the MADD programme has also seen students pitch in at Dogs Trust and Fat Fluffs Rabbit Rescue; Five Acre Farm ; the School Forestry Project; Foundry Wood and Kings Hill Nurseries.

Francine Docherty, community volunteering coordinator, added: “We are thrilled to see so many students giving up their time to volunteer and give back to their community.

“Our Make a Difference Day projects have proved particularly popular and benefited many charities and community organisations across the city.

About 300 students have so far delivered 40 of the volunteering days

“This year we have seen students complete more than double the number of these days than we did last year and it won’t stop there as we are always looking for new projects to support.”

Students will continue their volunteering efforts from October when the university hopes to encourage even more new recruits to give back to their community as they study.
